Youths under the auspices of ‘Coalition of Benue Youths’ and
comprising 40 groups on Wednesday have forced the driver of the Benue
State Governor, Samuel Ortom, to remove the flag of the ruling All
Progressives Congress from his car.The youths also prevented the governor from proceeding to Abuja,
where it was understood that he was to attend a meeting with APC
leadership, with the aim of settling the rift between him and APC
chairman in the state, George Akume.

The youths had stormed the Government House on Wednesday morning, and had prevented the governor from traveling to Abuja.The governor had, around 10am, taken off from Government House, Makurdi, when the youths in their hundreds blocked his route.The youths carried placards with various inscriptions such as:
“Ortom, don’t go back to APC,” “We don’t have land to donate for
ranching,” “APC is Miyetti party,” Our farms are not for cows,” You must
leave APC,” Ortom is our party,” and “2019: On Ortom we stand.”

While speaking, Terrence Kuanum and Pastor Dave Ogbole who spoke on
behalf of the youths advised the governor not to attend the meeting but
to seek alternative platform for his re-election.The youths threatened not to vote for him if he shuns their advice or attend the meeting.One of the spokesmen, Ogbole, ordered the removal of APC flag from
the governor’s official car, and the governor’s driver complied
immediately and removed the flag.“We need a leader that will protect us and you have shown that in the
past three years; but we don’t want you to attend the meeting with the
leaders of APC.

“But if you insist, there is no problem; but be ready to crush all of us,” Ogbole said.The governor, who pleaded with the youths to allow him attend the
meeting with the promise to protect their interest, eventually did a
U-Turn when the youths insisted that he should not go.“I know the support you have shown and still show to me, but I
promise you that I will protect your interest,” the governor pleaded.Source: Punch Newspaper
